Default Sun Visor Loose

Drivers sun visor is loose. If I have my window down, wind blows it. Even with the window up if I turn/veer left it still smacks me in the head.
(Rotating on the vertical axis)
I drive SE to work and NW back. Sun is always coming in my window.
Even took it out and looked at it. Was hoping to make it tighter.
Any advice or should I just replace it?
Do D2 visors fit?

There's a clip near the rear view mirror that is supposed to keep it in check. Sounds like you're missing that.

Naw, I have that clip.
Visor down and swung to the left of my head against the LF window.

Ask Paul Grant if they'd cross over to the D1. It's a good question.

I think I just spoke with the OP on eBay.

Good to know that D2 visors will fit the D1.
Thanks again, Paul.

Welp, finally got around to doing something about this.
I took a small triangle file and cut a groove around the plastic fingers that hold the visor in the mount. Took a piece of stainless wire and wrapped it around the fingers and twisted.
Visor stays in place when swung to the side and the window down.

3 years and done! Pretty snappy work there, nothing like a quick fix to make you feel taller in your flip flops.
